Fuel tank questions

[slasky]

I pulled the tank out of my Daytona and it is really nasty inside. It has been off the road since 1993. The fuel pump is shot too. I could get a complete used tank with pump for $150. A new tank and pump from the auto parts store is $210. So I am leaning towards the new pump and tank. Has anyone used or have feedback on the after market fuel tanks? Are they crap or are they OK.

I've used aftermarket new tanks an two different tm's and were fine. The only problems i ran into were they didn't include a new filler tank grommet/gasket/boot, and for the one on my daytona it didn't include a new grommet for the orvr/ canister vent elbow. All i did was use a cut-off wheel to remove the old tank from around the rubber i needed to reuse .

I replaced mine in my charger with one from Rock Auto--cost was under $100 for the turbo model and it was made by the same people who make the original [both made in Canada ] Bob

I put it in and it seems to be fine. I needed to get a new fuel pump and that came with the gasket. I also needed a new gasket for the filler neck and that was $18 from the dealer.

I find the aftermarket ones are thinner but when you pay over half less than a OEM one, I guess theres a reason why. Durability wise, haven't had an issue with any of my customers yet.

I installed an aftermarket tank a few years back and I noticed my fill capacity go up by about 6 liters, anyone else noticed that?

When I put the new tank in I used the new o ring that came with the new fuel pump. I used the old locking rings for the pump and sender and the old sender gasket because I did not have a new one. I moved the box that the tank came in today and new o rings and locks fell out for both the pump and sender.
